| - I will preface this review by saying that I would probably give Honey B Hives a 3.5-star rating if I could. Today's visit was average, but I have been there a few times before and fared better.
I was up early this morning, and decided to head up to Honey B Hives for breakfast before some wintry outdoor skating. The restaurant was not at all what I expected on my first visit. While it is a 24-hour all-day breakfast place in a very out-of-the-way industrial part of Scarborough, it also has a surprisingly polished-looking interior and some unusual pasta dishes on the dinner menu. I have only ever been there in the mornings for breakfast, and the service has always been quite fast.
The breakfast menu is fairly simple: a few egg plates, an omelette plate, and pancakes/waffles/French toast. There are no special features, but the food is generally good and the serving sizes are fine for the low prices. This morning I chose the steak and eggs with home fries and toast. As I read in some reviews, the steak was a thin-cut piece, but it was not small and was done to a good medium. The home fries were big and just a little crispy outside, and the eggs and toast were fine. The coffee is always really hot, which is appreciated on a cold morning like today.
Overall, a decent filling breakfast for only $12, but I could easily have eaten well for $10 or less. I am sure that I will return in the future, and should go some time for dinner to try their Black Squid Ink Spaghetti. They also have a make-your-own-pasta meal, with a lot of different options, as well as meat skewers and fish.
